All school districts have written statements of the educational
values and goals that members of the school community believe are
important and worth pursuing. They display these on the front page
of all school district public relations packets and on the walls of
school and district offices. While all segments of the school
community enthusiastically embrace the values and goals stated in
the documents, rarely, if ever, do they practice these goals and
values in classrooms or administrative offices. The gap between the
educational ideals spoken from auditorium stages and the
instructional regimes students experience in classrooms is the
result of schools designed to achieve institutional
goals-accountability, standardization, and efficiency-rather than
educational goals-thoughtfulness, deep knowledge, and
critically-informed citizens. This book is aimed at school
administrators whose goal is restoring the why of schooling to the
organizational structures and instructional routines that currently
govern public schooling in this nation.
